Chapter 324: Seven Days of Martial Arts, Testing the Bottom Line
Qi Heyao, as the governor of a county, also had some simple contacts with the Si family in the past, and his friendship was not deep.
But Qi Heyao, who was desperate at this time, after hearing the transmission of the Si family, was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and he had to hold it firmly in his hands whatever he said.
When he came out again, he still saluted Li Qingwan, and deliberately ignored Tie Tang above the court.
"My lord, December 15 is the day of my county's martial arts trial, and the officials have been practicing for a long time and have been in formation for a long time...... The fearful sergeant was dissatisfied.
The lower official dared to ask for a seven-day reprieve, and after the martial arts trial was over, Qi would immediately take the position of Zhongzheng? β
Tie Tang's face remained unchanged, but he muttered in his heart, because he didn't know about the martial arts test before, and he didn't know whether what Qi Heyao said at this time was true or false.
Lu Zhengqing, who was on the side, seemed to know his thoughts, and immediately secretly transmitted a voice to explain to him.
"This is not a false matter, nor is it a temporary idea, but it is a long-standing practice, and it is ...... at the end of every year."
It turns out that at the end of each year, the government will send a general to inspect the army of one county in the six subordinate counties.
This test is quite complicated, not arbitrary.
People from Fucheng need to check whether the establishment of the military in various places is full, whether there are people who have empty salaries, whether there is an overstaffing or shortage, whether there is a need to cut or fill in the gaps, and so on.
Of course.
The most important thing is to test the strength of the soldiers, which is the important weapon of the country, and there must be no negligence.
Qi Heyao took out the martial arts trial at this time to make a fuss...... At least on the bright side, it's an absolutely reasonable thing.
After hearing this, Tie Tang lightly buckled the eucalyptus platform, and his eyes swept to Li Qingwan.
The breeze blew and blew the red robe, and Li Qingwan just said in a hurry: "There is indeed no room for negligence in performing martial arts." β
On the surface, it was to inform that this matter was not small, but in fact, it was to advise Tie Tang not to act rashly.
The Si family is here, Qi Heyao is equivalent to having the support of power, and now if he wants to force the other party to hand over the talisman, it is likely to cause an accident.
The two brothers Tielong and Tiehu, who were standing at the back of the public hall and watching, saw this appearance and immediately felt that Tie Tang was unfair.
"Brother Fang, what do you say your lord is doing, he is in charge of the county guard, can't he just take down this person, there are so many masters present, what nonsense are you talking about him?"
Fang Lexian's feet paused, and a glimmer of light was prohibited, enveloping the three of them.
"How can officialdom be so simple?"
"Qi Heyao is not a non-handing over the talisman now, but it shows that there is a reason for the matter, and he wants to hand in the talisman slowly, so there is no major flaw.
Do you understand?
It's not that people don't pay, but they just pay slowly, and it makes sense to poke the song up. β
Tie Long said angrily: "Your Excellency is now a county guard, can't you force him to hand over the talisman?" β
"It's not impossible, but the consequences can be troublesome. If you insist on picking bones in the egg...... Brother Tie can only find some small faults to make a fuss.
If you really provoke Qi Heyao, people will stop doing it, and you will have a mutiny and rebellion, and Brother Tie will not be able to get off the stage. β
"Brother is right, if he rebels, he will rebel, and as soon as the lord gives the order, he will be wiped out casually, can he still fly to the sky?"
Fang Lexian laughed and patted Tielong on the shoulder a few times: "It's a shame that you didn't enter the officialdom, otherwise you might not live for three days."
Brother Tie's prestige is still shallow now, and his strength is not enough to subdue everyone present.
If he really pushes too hard and makes the other party's dog jump over the wall in a hurry, can he suppress the rebellion at that time, not to mention, how many of these officials present will do their best to help him?
Mutinies and chaos occur frequently, and if they are not done well, other inexplicable disasters will be implicated.
It's all unpredictable!
Even if Brother Tie had the means to forcibly coordinate many officials in Qingshui County and suppress the mutiny and rebellion in the fastest time, it would be a thankless task. β
Why is that? The rebellion was suppressed on the spot, and if you can't report it, you can still get some credit, how can it be bad? "Tielong doesn't understand.
"Name!"
"When this news spreads, my brother's reputation will stink."
"The so-called fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame is beneficial, especially in the officialdom, the importance of a person's reputation will not be much weaker than strength.
Even if the elder brother can suppress the rebellion in time, it will be difficult to hear after the news is spread, and he may even be removed from the position of county warden on the spot.
Do you want to.....
Let you be an official, it's good for you, you provoked a local mutiny as soon as you took office, which boss would like such a subordinate?
Is this kind of official really capable?
The local county town, which has always been peaceful, is angry and resentful, mutiny and riot as soon as you kid takes office, and once this impression spreads, no one will look up to you.
So it's the way of the official..... Not only must we have the strength to calm the storm, but also have the means to sweep the holes quietly and thunderously.
It's really time to tear your face and overturn the countertop....... Even if you win, it's a loss. β
Tie Long sighed: "This official is really difficult!" β
As Fang Lexian said, Tie Tang also took into account all aspects, it is impossible for him to just take office, and the position of the county guard has not yet been secured, so he completely tears his face with the local officials.
Coupled with Li Qingwan's hints, he quickly made a decision.
"Since there is such an important task, why didn't Captain Qi say it earlier, it almost ruined the friendship between you and me, and the martial arts test is a major event for the military aircraft, and I hope that Captain Qi will work hard, don't fall into the face of my Qingshui County."
Qi Heyao's brows trembled, and he secretly said What kind of friendship do I have with you?
However, when he heard Tie Tang's name, he knew that his military power was temporarily retained, and there were at least seven days left.
He hurriedly bowed to Tie Tang and gave a salute: "It's that the lower official was not thoughtful, and he almost collided with Lord Tie, and the military affairs are busy, please allow the lower official to retire first."
Please rest assured, after seven days, Qi will not fall into the power of my clear water! β
Tietang gave the steps, where did Qi Heyao dare to support his waist, hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, and said that he was an adult, and everything Zhou Zhang would wait for him to return to the base camp to consider.
Tie Tang smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Captain Qi has military affairs in his body, so he will go by himself." β
After he left, the other officials didn't want to, and they didn't dare to ask for a retreat.
Every time a new county guard takes office, it means that the power organs in the county will have a major reshuffle, and if they don't try to show their faces more and win favor, they may be squeezed out at that time.
The atmosphere of the next church meeting was extremely warm, regardless of whether there was a side line in the past, whether there was a faction or not, they all began to try their best to make friends with Tie Tang Pan and call customers.
It feels really good to be touted!
Tie Tang still felt a little floating at first, but after many times, he began to feel a little boring, and at the same time, he began to be vigilant in his heart, not to be immersed in the quagmire of officialdom.
Strength is the foundation of this world.
After getting to know all the officials under him, Tie Tang hurriedly dispersed to the church, and under a group of officials, he was invited to a banquet.
This reception banquet is indispensable, Tie Tang sat on the main seat and was constantly toasted, drinking cup after cup.
Seeing that this posture couldn't be stopped, Tie Tang decided to give many officials in Qingshui County a little ruthlessness, and try their bottom line by the way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Tie Mou's trip to the Holy Capital has opened his eyes very much, and at the same time, he has also realized the shortcomings of our Qingshui County.
There are a lot of improvements....... I wonder what you think?
There is no official rank above the banquet, everyone can speak freely, and they don't have to take it seriously. β
Some words are not easy to say in officialdom, but it is different when it comes to private banquets.
But as soon as I heard that I wanted to improve Shimizu County...... The mouths of many officials who had just returned their tongues to lotus flowers seemed to be stitched together with needles and threads, and the banquet instantly fell silent.
Tie Tang sneered in his heart, knowing that what Fang Lexian said before was good.
Even if he is willing to contribute money and effort......
I'm afraid that this matter of formation is not so easy to talk about.
At this banquet, Li Qingwan did not come, Qiu Zhengyang did not come, only Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng supported Tietang.
The two of them knew that Tie Tang was going to do something, but they didn't know the core, so they motioned to their subordinates to cheer in their eyes.
Gao Zhuo got up and saluted Tie Tang: "My lord is not worldly, he is famous, and it won't take long to reach the fairyland."
Under the governance of adults, I believe that Shimizu-gun will get better and better.
And Qingshui County is also a certain Sangzi, if the adults are willing to erect a new law, I am willing to be a pawn, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, without frowning. β
His words first pointed out Tietang's identity.
Tell the rest of the officials present not to make too many senseless struggles, offending a peerless Tianjiao who can ascend to the fairyland, this deal can't be done.
In addition to taking a stand and supporting Tietang....... There are also some real thoughts in the heart.
After all, Tietang's prestige has long spread in Qingshui County, and he really has the ability, and he can't really manage Qingshui County in an orderly and prosperous manner.
Immediately after Gao Zhuo, several officials stood up and said that no matter what Tie Tang did, they would support it.
These people spoke without the slightest hesitation, because they had already stood in line, and they belonged to Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng's faction, as long as they followed their leader.
Tie Tang nodded again and again when he heard this, and then swept around the other officials who did not express his position, and directly dropped a bombshell news.
"I want to follow the example of the land county, gather the power of a city, and lay down a large array of city protections, I don't know if you have a good plan?"
As soon as these words came out, the sounds of crackling, throwing bowls, and coughing came out again and again.
Many people are genuinely surprised.
Even Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng, who were familiar with Tie Tang, frowned, but they didn't expect Tie Tang to make it so big as soon as he came up.
He Changsheng is okay, he was born poor, and the population in the family is not large, so he basically relies on his prestige as the chief county catcher.
But Lu Zhengqing is different!
In addition to being the county leader of Qingshui County, there is also a whole Lu family behind him.
As the first family of Qingshui County, any action in Qingshui City will inevitably collide with the interests of the Lu family.
Especially for such a big event as laying down the city protection array, it is impossible for the Lu family to stay out of it.
Even if he is personally optimistic about Tietang and has a deep friendship, as a member of the Lu family, he has to think about the Lu family.
Without involving the interests of the family, Lu Zhengqing naturally fully supports Tietang, even if there is some collision between the two, he can choose to make concessions.
Can protect the city....... There are so many implications that it is up to him to make a decision.
Lu Zhengqing is like this, and the reaction of other officials can be imagined.
Most of the officials are from wealthy families, and they have a basic existence in Qingshui City, and if they want to give up their own interests, it is really a meat cut.
Let Tie Tang be the county guard, the name is justified, and no one will have an opinion.
Therefore, even if Tietang does not have much foundation in the church, he can easily absorb most of the officials.
But now that it touches their personal and even family interests, the scene is completely different.
Many people don't even do superficial articles, and one by one they get up and make excuses to leave.
"Gross~ My lord, the lower official is not strong enough to drink, so he will leave first."
"My lord, there was a pot of hot chicken soup boiled at home, and I was told to rush back in time, and the lower official retired first."
"My lord, there are wives and concubines in the Xiaguan family who are about to give birth, and it is inconvenient to wait for a long time, forgive your sins."
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, the lower official thinks that he has eaten something bad, and his abdominal pain is like a strangulation, and he needs to seek medical attention immediately, please forgive the sin of treating the lower official slowly."
.......
One by one, the court officials with good strength seem to have been cursed at this moment, and everything is wrong.
Half a column of incense is less.
Ten tables full of officials walked cleanly.
Even some officials who are not involved in their interests choose to leave on the spot in order to avoid right and wrong.
At this time, there were only Tie Tang, Lu Zhengqing, He Changsheng, and Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Fang Lexian who opened a table alone downstairs.
He Changsheng has the closest relationship with Tie Tang, and there are not many interests involved, so after seeing that people are gone, he began to speak bluntly about what he thought.
"Array? How did you come up with this idea? Not to mention whether these families in Qingshui City are willing or not, there is not so much money in the county.
Don't you know how much a city protector costs? β
Tie Tang picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Lu Zhengqing, and then took his own wine glass and drank it all.
"What does Lord Lu think?"
The Lu family is the first family in Qingshui County, and getting the Lu family is half the success.
Opposite.
If the Lu family takes the lead in opposing .......
That's going to be hard!
Lu Zhengqing raised Tietang's full wine glass, also raised his head and drank it all, and only after putting down the wine glass did he slowly say: "Lu naturally agrees." β
"It's just..... I'm afraid the Lu family won't be so easy to nod. β
Tie Tang understands that Lu Zhengqing is Lu Zhengqing, and the Lu family is the Lu family, and they can't be mixed up.
"How do you think I can convince them?"
Lu Zhengqing frowned, as if he had thought of something, and slowly shook his head.
"Difficult!"
"As soon as the formation falls, everything is up to anyone, even if the method of controlling the formation is only in your hands, it will inevitably reveal many clues, and they will not agree so simply.
Since you have this proposal, you must have made a lot of preparations, so you might as well talk about it and work together. β
Tie Tang pointed under his finger: "The earth witch downstairs is from the Fang family, he has a lot of friendship with me, and he has obtained the opportunity for me to come to the Fang family's formation master."
As soon as that master arrives, he can coordinate the natural and dangerous terrain of the entire Qingshui City and tailor a set of city protection arrays.
In terms of money...... Brother Fang will do his best to help me, with the Fang Family's Treasure Pavilion, the price will never be too high.
As long as each of the major families in Qingshui City contributes a little, I can make up all the follow-up expenses. β
The Fang family, the formation master, and the tailor-made, several keywords in a row, made Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng all shrink.
They naturally knew what it meant, and it was obvious that Tie Tang had made full preparations, not improvisation.
"You.... Is there so much money? Even Lu Zhengqing didn't believe it.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Tie Tang took out the white paper fan and shook it slightly, and three bottles of white jade bottles fell, and inside were the colorful heads he got in Qushui Liuzhen.
"There are almost 30,000 years of life here, which should be regarded as the principal, and I can make up for the difference in the follow-up, and if it doesn't work, I can also turn over one or two with Brother Fang.
He is from the Fang family, and it is not difficult to call on some natural treasures.
I am about to enter the realm of gods and witches, and breaking the immortal gate is just around the corner, and money will never be a problem. β
"Hiss~"
He Changsheng gasped and took a bottle of white jade to check in disbelief.
When I saw the life pill full of life pills inside, my saliva was about to fall.
"Good boy, where did you go out to rob the rich and help the poor? It's 30,000 years of life casually, and I've worked hard for so long, and all my belongings don't add up so much. β
Lu Zhengqing has his back to the Lu family, his vision is higher, and his financial resources are stronger, but when he sees 30,000 years of longevity in front of him, he has to shake it.
And Tie Tang's move has almost shown his determination, the matter of arranging the formation must be carried out, and all obstacles in front of him will be kicked out by him.
Lu family, Tietang.
These two collided, as if Tie Tang was the vulnerable side, but Lu Zhengqing knew that Tie Tang's ability was by no means so simple.
"I'll go back and explore the wind first, if I encounter difficulties, I will come to you to discuss, you don't have to rush for a while, you can wait for a year and a half, and after you sit firmly in the position of the county guard........"
Before Lu Zhengqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tie Tang waving his hand: "I will never wait too long!" β
His eyes revealed the divine light, the sun and the moon appeared in the children's holes, the infinite starlight gathered in it, the blood flowed like the sea, the heartbeat was like thunder, as if the gods and demons had descended into the world, and the terrifying qi spread out from the restaurant, so that the masters of the entire Clear Water City had sensed it.
"Seven days laterβ"
"No matter whether Qi Heyao will be obedient or not, I will clean the entire Qingshui City!"

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red rain of blood.
The walls of the city are ruined, everything is decayed, and there are collapsed houses everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and broken flesh, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The once bustling streets are now bleak.
The dirt road that used to be crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only the blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was shocking to distinguish from each other.
Not far away, a broken carriage, deep in the mud, full of sorrow, except for an abandoned rabbit doll on the wheel, hanging on it, fluttering in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into a wet red, full of eerie and eerie.
The cloudy eyes seemed to have some resentment, and he looked at the mottled stones in front of him alone.
There, there was a figure lying on his stomach.
It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dirt, with a torn leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and remained motionless, the biting cold from all directions through his shabby coat, hitting his whole body, gradually taking away his body temperature.
